I have a HP G2 laptop, hard drive failed and I replaced with SSD. ( so new load of Win 7, and I've done this twice in last few days )
System has 4 GB RAM and CPU is Atlon P340 dual core.
When I power up I get a continuous beep tone, however if I press ESC key it goes to Bios select F1, F2, f9 key etc.
If I press return it boots almost normally except that when password entry field appears it starts to fill with dashes.
If I back space over these, and enter my password then as far as I can tell everything works correct and as expected.
Keyboard entry programs like word, wordpad, open office all work 100 % normally, but once I shutdown I need to go thru the procedure above to get into Windows. It seems like there is something wrong with BIOS keyboard driver???? but that doesn't explain the issues either.
It has been a while since anyone has replied. Simply ask a new question if you would like to start the discussion again.
